A young girl and her mother bear the lingering trauma of the Holocaust. Set in 1951 Israel, ten‑year‑old Aviya lives with her single mother, Henya, a haunted survivor of a Nazi camp whose emotional instability colors their daily life. Poverty and the fledgling state’s hardships deepen their struggle. Aviya obsessively searches for her missing father, suspecting the new neighbor might be him, while Henya knows the painful truth behind his absence.
